How to: Replace the gas pedal

Torx

1. Pop the plastic lid off beside the pedal, and unscrew the torx underneath.

Bottom clips

2. Release the two clips holding the pedal to the floor. See next picture for more info.

Bottom clips released

3. To release the clips the right hand side clip needs to be pushed left. And the left hand side clip needs to be pushed forward.

Unplug wires

4. Unplug the wires at the top of the pedal unit. The plug is secured with a tiny clip, which probably should be released by pushing the white piece on the top. But since I broke the white piece I had to improvise. I shoved a small screw driver from the bottom towards the top, and it seemed to release the plug successfully.

Finished

5. Now the pedal unit is loose and you can take it out. Put the new unit in place by doing everything in reverse order. Remember to check your new gas pedal works and the wires are connected properly. And that’s it.

I hope you found this useful.
